And the biggest irony in this? The one person who has managed to stand up to House and walk away: Cameron.
Ha! Yes, I've always found this irony to be quite delicious. And if I'm honest, I've never seen Cameron to be the weak character that a lot of fandom makes her out to be. When she believed in something, she never backed down. When she wanted something, she'd put her whole heart into getting it, but she also finally learned when to give up and walk away. She faced her emotions head-on and did things about it, which, yes, got her into trouble more often than not, but at least she was brave enough to do it, you know? And she often did stand up to House, or at least ask him what he was playing at, and she would easily counter attack (she got to his emotional side and she knew it, and so she often used this to her advantage). They weren't as uneven as people say they were. But with House/Cuddy, it feels like all House does is walk all over her, simply because Cuddy used to be the strong woman. She was supposed to be the mature one that knew better, and just... ugh. As for making House a lovesick puppy, even for just the one ep where I saw it, it was rather disturbing. Like, it maybe sold me on the fact that House did love Cuddy, I just didn't know why, because I felt like the show completely failed on developing them as a romance. They just kind of shoved it in there and said, "Hey, guess what? House and Cuddy have a history, a romantic history that we chose not to mention until just now, AND SO CLEARLY THEY ARE IN AN EPIC LOVE AND CUDDY IS HIS ~SOULMATE~" Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. Granted, I haven't seen season 6, so perhaps they've cleaned some of that up, but according to most of fandom's reaction, I doubt it.
